Another death by police brutality? This was the question that forced angry youth to barricade the Lagos Roundabout and all entrances leading to Magaji Garin Police Station of Kaduna state, protesting the death of a Print Technician who was allegedly killed by a policeman.

Even commuters, commercial motorcyclists and residents of the area ran helter skelter for cover as the angry youth displayed green leaves, demanding immediate justice over the killing of an innocent citizen.

It was gathered that the deceased , Elisha Joseph, a 40-year old man, out of his love for peace intervened in the fight between a policeman and a prisons official over their rights on the Forcados/Bonny street road. According to an eyewitness, Joseph couldn't condone the traffic caused by the two security men as their argument lasted, thus, he left his shop and went to meet them. On getting there, his words of advice was misinterpreted and the Police officer transferred his aggression on him, asking who made him a judge over the case, subsequently, he hit the Print Technician so hard on the stomach and head repeatedly.

"After hitting him, the policeman dragged Joseph into his vehicle. People were shouting that the policeman should leave him alone. He left him and the deceased, stood up and went to the hospital for a check-up. He died in the hospital"

However, when contacted the Kaduna State Commissioner of Police, Olufemi Adenaike utterly denied the involvement of one of his men in the death of Joseph. He simply said, "As a journalist, go and do your investigation very well, no policeman beat him, no policeman hit him, he was foaming in the mouth, I think he is diabetic. He took himself to the hospital and died there."

With grieve and pains written all over him, the father of the deceased, Mr. Kunle Joseph lamented on the sudden death of his son who left home hale and hearty, "I am devastated over the death of my son, and as at the time of talking to you, I have not seen the body. I am presently in a state of confusion. There is no action that will bring him back to life but we want justice to be done," he said

I hate men/women of the NPF and all other Uniform wearing outfits in Nigeria with all my heart.

D society W̶̲̥̅̊ε live iπ,I believe dis Ȋ̝̊§ atrue story cos I hανҽ witnessed something of this nature b4!gross wickedness ALUUcious police officer

Snakes covering each other. Even with witnesses, these policemen will still have no shame lying to everybody.When the earthquake finally gets to Nigeria, all our police stations should be the first to get destroyed. Evil hypocrites!!

Lesson learnt: don't ever interfere in matters concerning uniformed men.they could be violent most times.so sad the dude lost his life trying to make peace.RIP to him.

Just in case you're reading this from another country, the answer is , YES, this is the Nigerian Police Force's version of an apology

*#/:;'"()_-+@

its so sad that lying is second nature to the nigerian police. Its a reflection of what happens when so called 'suspects' are arrested/paraded.

Nigerian Police Force....are u there to kill us or to save us

What sort of society do we have this days where a Policeman for that matter will be beating an unarmed and innocent fellow in the full glare of the public and people will stay at safe distance and be shouting 'leave him, leave him'? What stops the eyewitnesses from moving close and descend on the scoundrel in uniform and teach him some lessons in civilities?

Now that the deed has been done and with a life lost, of what significance is the public display of emotions and anger?

Buh na wa oo.. Those sayin otherz shuld nin their business, some day wen ur in dstress or been manhandled by some insane and delusional beings.. Otherz will jst watch u die.. D man died brvae.. At least he died fighting anoda manz cause.. Jesus died d same.. I dont knw of prophet Mohamed sha.. May his brave soul rest in peace.. His ManHood lives On.

the book of proverbs says "its only a fool who meddles in a quarrel not his own" sad that such a thing happened to him..

CIVILIANS ARE KILLING EACH OTHER AND THOSE WHO SHOULD PROTECT ITS CITIZENS FROM BOTH INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL AGGRESSIONS (POLICE AND SOLDIERS) ARE SENDING INNOCENT LIVES TO THEIR EARLY GRAVES, YET WE HAVE, GEJ, AN IDI0T AT THE HELMS OF AFFAIRS PRESIDING OVER CHAOS! TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT, THIS NATION CALLED NIGERIA IS CURSED. ITS CITIZENS ARE DOOMED. ITS DYSFUNCTIONAL APPARATUS NEEDS DISMANTLING AND ITS ORGANS DISSOLVED.
